Education... has some measurable real world results, including... reducing overpopulation.
Seriously? So armed with education, you think people will read a book instead of have sex? Or do we plan to push out propaganda while we "educate" to try to get more of the world to sterilize itself for the greater good of those who remain?
Example: Police officer shoots and kills an unarmed citizen. On administrative leave pending review.
In our typical instant gratification society, most people would read that and go "gotcha! whats next?". Well, some of us want more. I want to read about that cop going to trial. Or that cop going to jail. Or, dunno, why the hell the DA chooses not to press charges.
Wow. Not one of your senarios allowed for the possibility that the officer acted properly (such as the citizen was armed.)
Lack of follow up also occurs when an article is factually wrong and the news media doesn't want to own up to it. And, unless you have the money to do so, there is no way to force them to retract their statements (at least, not on page one where everyone previously read what a peice of shit you were.)
You seem to have a distrust autority (which can be healthy) but your examples show too much faith in the integrity of the media.
Really? I guess I missed the part were the French helped the Poles as per their treaty. Poland would have done better if they had know beforehand that France (and Britan) were not going to back them.
In fact, it wasn't until France was attacked 8 months later that they even started fighting.
Hell, France lasted a little over two weeks longer than Poland and it did not have the soviet union to deal with (and had eight months of knowing that Germany was on the military move.)
I am sure France has many things to be proud of, but World War II should not be one of them.
I will. I keep up to date with it whenever I need to buy a graphics card.
Nvidia just came out with vdpau which will keep my media computer with them for some time to come but my computer and my wifes are always up for grabs.
That said, I probably not would run out and buy a new card I didn't need. It would determine my next purchase, though.
Last I saw, I only noticed solid development on the old cards. While this would not be a deal breaker it would be something I would consider.
I am the type of viewer that has a sudden want for a particular movie. By the time it arrives from netflix (which is usually one day to return and one day to receive) I have no desire to see it.

You think leaving Iraq and Afghanistan this time will have positive ramifications?
We are already there so just not going there is no longer a solution.
There are lots of places that are broken down that the US hasn't even touched.
My country gets along just fine
Well then your country would not be one of the broken that the poster was refering to.
apart from UK, but thats where US comes too...)
You mean
apart from UK, but thats where US comes from
I don't believe it was the US that colonized the UK.
You have no clue how many of them are no longer in power because of US interventionism.

It's a trick.
el_tedward just stole 12 laptops and wants your help
they actually have the diplomatic ties to call whatever justice system there is in Russia that might consider going after these guys
There is a justice system in Russia?
They probably missed a decimal point. I hear that type of error is common.
Especially when their example of target flooding google with false hits is a site speficic search of target.
The is the link they are showing at the bottem of the article
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Atarget.com+"We+could+not+find+matches+for"
Maybe if there were such a pattern.
Try exercise equipment clearance. Not Target.
exercise machine clearance
Heck, even "exercise bike" and "exercise bike sale" doesn't lead to Target.
Hell, the example on their page is a site speficic search site:target.com "We could not find matches for"
No. You'll be fine and should go for it :)

I am dissapointed this did not come from the pizza anology guy...
Eventually, I will be able watch that 3d episode of Chuck
That's how I feel about those Mexicans and Spanish
Debian's package manager is incredibly annoying if you've used something nice like Portage or Paludis.
I don't believe Ubuntu has strayed to the point of having a different package manager
Exactly - If they did nothing and she carried out what she said, everyone would be asking why all the signs were ignored.
There was a context to this to make it seem like a serious comment and that was the breakup. Many people have snapped over something like this.
I don't see that definition

You are sarcastically agreeing to something the parent didn't write.

Notice how there were no problems with google until they came out with chrome?
I will. I keep up to date with it whenever I need to buy a graphics card.

Surely there was a reason they were trying to fingerprint those people for the police to even notice...
I have never had a cop in the US (nor Canada) randomly ask to verify if I have fingerprints.

Wow. I never would have thought someone would post something like this on slashdot other than Archer.
Congrats to both you and Thomas for not switching to the name calling that usually surfaces. The whole exchange was very refreshing.
